Galaxy Data Centers and Castleforge Partner to Acquire £100M Redhill Data Centre

Castleforge, in partnership with Galaxy Data Centers, announces the acquisition of the Redhill Data Centre, a project with a development value of over £100 million. Located just outside central London, the facility spans 11,800 square meters, is 100% green energy certified, and is home to 26 Fortune 500 and AI tenants. With its proximity to Gatwick Airport, London, and key data hubs, Redhill is poised to meet growing digital demand, particularly in AI and cloud computing.

Strongest South London Edge Hyperscale Data Centre

The Redhill Data Centre is well-positioned for expansion, with 26MVA of existing power across seven data halls and plans for future expansion to 10-15 MW, the Redhill Data Centre will become the strongest South London edge hyperscale data center in London’s high-demand data centre market. As demand for digital infrastructure continues to soar, the facility provides an ideal opportunity for growth in one of the most significant data center markets globally. 

Galaxy’s Expertise in Data Centre Operations

Galaxy Data Centers brings its North America, EMEA, and Southeast Asia data center expertise to the Redhill site, aiming to enhance the facility’s capacity to meet future demand. 

“We’re thrilled to leverage our U.S. hyperscale experience to enhance Redhill Data Centre’s capabilities, and we see tremendous growth potential in the London market,” said Dave Misra, Managing Partner of Galaxy Data Centers. “As we explore opportunities for expanding capacity, our focus remains on providing the scale, power, and density our customers require in this evolving digital landscape.”

European Data Centre Market

With the European data center market rapidly growing, particularly in London, this acquisition positions both Castleforge and Galaxy for long-term success. The partnership will help address the region’s rising demand for scalable, efficient digital infrastructure.

According to the latest data from CBRE, the European data centre market grew by nearly 20% year-on-year in Q1 2024, with significant development across Frankfurt, London, Amsterdam and Paris. As data centre demand across EMEA continues to skyrocket, London is the largest and most dominant data centre market in Europe and the second largest globally after Northern Virginia.   

By acquiring an already operational data centre, in one of the world’s most significant markets, Castleforge expects a significant ROI, with scope for expansion as demand continues to grow in the coming years.

“Redhill Data Centre’s proximity to London means it offers an important hub for digital services which require fast connections to the capital.  With no sign of digital innovation slowing down we felt this was the right time to make a financial commitment to the market and believe there will be significant further opportunities to come.” said Adam MacLeod, Partner at Castleforge.
